A man accused of blocking a car on a roadway in Garapan and threatening to kill the driver with a knife has entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to 30 days in prison.
Eliot Elias, 24, pleaded guilty last week to the offense of assault.
Superior Court Associate Judge David A. Wiseman accepted the defendant’s guilty plea and the plea agreement.
Wiseman sentenced Elias to six months imprisonment, all suspended except 30 days.
Elias was given credit for four days of time served. His release date from the Department of Corrections is April 10, 2016.
After completing the prison term, the defendant will be placed on supervised probation for one year. He was ordered to pay a $25 court assessment fee, plus probation fee.
Elias was required to undergo any counseling recommended by the Community Guidance Center and will be prohibited from consuming any alcoholic beverages during the duration of probation.
According to the factual basis of the plea deal, Elias was drunk and threatened to beat up Waheed Nawaz on Nov. 19, 2015.
Police detective Nicholas Rabauliman stated in his report that a police officer responded to Sonoda Apartment in Garapan on Nov. 19, 2015, at 9:21pm where a disturbing the peace incident was reported.
Rabauliman said the officer met with the victim who told him that he was scared because Elias threatened to kill him with a knife.
The victim said he was on his way to pick up his friend who resides at the Sonoda Apartment.
While the victim was driving along the roadway, Elias stood in front of the vehicle.
Elias walked over to the driver’s side window, asked who the victim was and his passenger.
The victim told Elias that his companion is a worker from his business.
Elias said he did not care about him or his companion and that he could beat both of them up.
Elias told the victim to call the police or else he would cut his throat.
While the victim was calling the police on the phone, Elias allegedly tried to stab him repeatedly with a huge knife.
A witness blocked Elias and pulled him away from the victim.
The victim drove to a nearby tennis court, where he waited for the police to arrive.
